The Banned Game

[jennymae]

Empress Jennymae is clearly a compassionate and discerning ruler, whose people are blessed to have her defend their flowers, willows, creeks and mountain streams from marauders and otherwise unwashed invaders, who might seek to pollute said water bodies with their laundry, and collect-said willows for firewood (not to mention harvest all the flowers for a quick buck on November 11).

But fear not for the safety and security of the repatriated buggies, Empress. See, we mark each and every buggy with a golden star, which in Mosestaria, means the utmost care and security will be afforded the wearer. Only in the event of a great national emergency (e.g. a deadly shortage of cash in amidst a booming scrap metals market) would any harm befall the wearers of the golden stars.

Furthermore, do not grieve over Mosestaria's lack of civil servants. The fact is, Mosestaria has the finest civil servants in the world, and these have long-mastered the art of nickel-and-diming the people. However, as Mosestaria has very little to plunder, and as Mosestarians can smell a civil servant's nickel-and-diming scheme sooner than they can smell a particularly delicious-looking cat, you will find Mosestarian civil servants in *every* country except Mosestaria. Perhaps look into your own empire, Empress. You may learn that one or two of your most trusted treasury officials are secretly Mosestarians?

The Empress is pleased to let it become known that the outstanding law enforcement authorities of Jennymaesia have charged several treasury officials with high treason. The happy people of Jennymaesia always agree with the outstanding law enforcement authorities, thus no courts, or lawyers, are seen in the country. The Empress finds all the defendants guilty as charged. They’re all sentenced to be sent back in time to build me a palace.

Empress JM has done a fine job of ruling over Jennymaesia. Not too sure of the leader of Mosestaria. I mean how can you trust a leader who spends most of his time in jail. Mind you he does have his own office in his cell and most of the prison guards are on his payroll.
The empress on the other hand elegantly rules and reigns from her palace and is well liked by her staff. She pays them in trolleys and provides free parking for them. What more could you ask for?

I fear for the safety of my cat, therefore I cannot risk bringing her to Mosestaria. I dont think she would look very nice sitting on a plate with an apple in her mouth. I checked the special pricing on flights to Mosestaria. How come it is a one way flight only?

Dear Madam President,

The Secret Service of Jennymaesia has crucial intel on the Mosestarian ruler. He’s plotting to overthrow Madam President and establish a marionette government friendly to Mosestaria. Your cat will be appointed President until the Mosestarians have found a way to teach a rat how to govern.😂

Rulers of Jennymaesia and Rubyland, how would you like to enter a friendly song contest called Lanovision in which our countries sing their anthems and everyone can vote on the best one

Lanolinland has a baa baa shop quartet singing 'the green green grass of home' in Lanolinland native languages

I am supposing Shittimstan and Mosetaria can enter, provided they dont use autotune or karaoke methods or lipsynching...these are the rules...we have to have some rules, otherwise things fall apart like condos in Shittimstan

Yeah, that sounds awesome.😀

Jennymaesia has a fiddlin’ trio playing old Jennymaesian folk songs in our old, yet beautiful language.

I’m a little skeptical about admitting Mosestaria and Shittimstan into the contest. They will probably just be playing marches.😂

 

[shittim]

Shittimistan is currently cleaning up it's civil servant roles and investigating all who may be undercover Mosestarians , like this suspicious looking one, after the Mediocre Reset in Shittimistan the Shittimistanians will carve their kazoos and other instruments from cacti to accompany the Greater Shittimastanian Symphony in the performance of the Shittimistan National Anthem.
Meanwhile this guy looks suspect- do you recognize him?

That’s the ruler of Mosestaria. Feared by cats, shopping buggies and neighboring countries.

I got word that the president of Rubyland intends to liberate the Rubyland minority in Mosestaria. The picture above shows that the Rubyland minority is being oppressed (quite literally lol) by the Mosestarian majority.

 

[shittim]

Shittimistanians owe you a debt of gratitude

We get wiser and wiser from this thread!
Thank you kindly for the info!
Shittimistanians support the liberation of Rubylander's!

So now we know who President Moses is. He is also on the "wanted" posters in Rubyland. Reward of $10,000 if caught and bought in alive.
I have heard he regularly flies and hides in Jennymaesia and Shittimistan and has briefly worked in Lanolinland as a trolley collector. We need to have an alliance and catch him. Once he is locked up we can know that our countries are safe. Perhaps we should discuss this over skype??

 

[shittim]

That would be great, however, Shittimistanians are limited as the not-so- benevolent overlord for life has then thinking an etch a sketch is a computer- Is there another way for the not-so-benevolent-overlord-for life ( here after referred to as the NSBOFL) can be involved without the peons finding out?

 

[shittim]

You are all nuts here.....
I ban all of the above, and hereby close down this thread.
There! I won fair and square

Please beware, we may have spy in the midst!

On behalf of Mosestaria, I accept your invitation to Lanovision. Of course, as Mosestarian music is the best in the world, I feel it would only be fair to let you know that we will be performing our national anthem - Mosestaria - the Great Fatherland - which is, of course, played to the immortal music of Der Königgrätzer Marsch.

I'll also provide the first verse and first chorus, to provide other competitors with a fighting chance, given the terrible standard of music we hear of in so many other of these "Vision" events.

Mosestaria - the Great Fatherland
[To the tune of Der Königgrätzer Marsch, by Johann Gottfried Piefke 1866]

Mosestaria, Mosestaria, Mosestaria, our Great Fatherland!
You are brave and strong, you are tall and long, you are never wrong, Mosestaria grande!
With an iron fist, does our chief resist, all the bribes and threats and risks of remand
Mosestaria, you are the fairest place in the land.

Oh, and we know that you'd never say,
'Cause boasting is just not your way,
But we cannot let others downplay,
For our hearts would not let us betray.

This anthem has been stolen and replaced with a different chorus. This would make it disqualified.
I am thinking Rubyland has a much better chance of winning. Of course second place is up for grabs from J,S and L.

Lanovision never said there was anything against plagiarism in the rules!?! The only rules are as below:

I am supposing Shittimstan and Mosetaria can enter, provided they dont use autotune or karaoke methods or lipsynching...these are the rules...we have to have some rules, otherwise things fall apart like condos in Shittimstan

And even if there was a rule against plagiarism, we pay Johann Gottfried Piefke (RIP) a significant royalty every year for the use of his excellent music, and that's something we don't even do for Bill Gates and his Operating System monopoly.

I think we can resolve this minor disagreement by Madam President paying a visit to Mosestaria. Mosestaria will pay your flights and accommodation, and those of your bodyguards. One way only, of course, for obvious reasons - once you arrive in Mosestaria, you'll never want to leave. For a small fee, we'll even provide security for your cat to be properly... taken care of.

Don't worry about secret plots or anything. So you won't be alarmed, I've posted the photograph of the Mosestarian official who will be meeting you at the airport. He is actually a real boy from Rubyland, which is why he looks a little strange. He was hoping to maybe visit Rubyland in the near future, with some of his associates - after you grace us with your presence, of course, Madam President...



Oh, and as another incentive to your visit, while you're here, we'll be able to update you on the latest in Mosestarian research. We've made some substantial and exciting progress in teaching rats the art of politics.

The Shittimistan National anthem-Sung with great reverence-

We're knights of the round table
We dance whenever we're able
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable

We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot

We're knights of the round table
Our shows are formidable
But many times we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable

We're opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot

War we're tough and able, quite indefatigable
Between our quests we sequin vests
And impersonate Clark Gable
It's a busy life in Camelot

I have to push the pram a lot

Fear not. The Great Empress has gotten a new set of lipsticks. I think ruby red will conquer the Mosestarians.😁

 

[jennymae]

The shittimstanians are surprised by the Jennymaesian lipstick strategy. We will up our game with adding blush. Maybe they have never been using lipstick in Shittimstan? 😂

 

[shittim]

we have a few that use it, seems to have become more of a warning to stay away and a lure. We aren't sure why. here is one of them.....

 

[Ruby123]

I think Empress JennyMae may need to travel to Shittimistan and teach them how to apply their makeup. Less is best!!
Watch out for King Moses empress, he may try to overturn your business, he is known for fraud. You may need to ask Shittim for extra security.

 

[shittim]

Jennymaesian's and Rubylandians seem to have a better tradition of how to use that red lip stuff, but then... they don't seem to need to warn people to stay away- unlike some of ours....
